    Swapped the original Winch hook for an Aluminum Winch Shackle. Not sure how I feel about it now but I am sure the utility will out weigh any opinion on looks. 9CB4BC3C-704F-495E-8A35-2049AB5C0057.jpg

    Eibach’s installed on first notch with taco lean spacer. Nothing on rear other than Eibach shocks. Was way too pumped and forgot to get measurements. Took us about 6 hours or so. First time doing this type of wrenching!

    Did my brakes and rotors cryo slotted and hawk 5.0 has a lil better grab but still not quite what I'd hoped for. Thinking SS lines and a vacuum bleed may do the trick

    Thanks. It came with the controller. I was looking at the PowerTrays but couldn't justify $85. I am sure they are great products but couldn't do it. Local metal supplier had some scrap aluminum for $5. A couple hours later...custom tray.

    Maybe this would work for you?

    The ABS requires the brakes to be bled with a computer thingy, that's a technical term btw.

    Speaking of such, figured I’d start 2021 with giving the taco some TLC.DD154207-E716-4B78-8655-57B38B12C250.jpg

    Nice!, Do they come pre-packed? I have an old plastic "Thing" that should be replaced. Where did you purchase? Thanks

    Really? When I replaced my reservoir, because I filled it with the wrong fluid, I needed to bleed everything - which I did with a vacuum pump by hand, and it all came out okay. Admittedly I didn't cycle the ABS pump and get air in it, so maybe that's why it went well for me.

    My truck sounded like it was falling apart for the past few weeks because of a rattling heat shield. I finally got under there today and fixed it. All it took was a washer and no more noise. I love free fixes.

    Thanks! I know it! They are definitely on my list. Can’t decide between F5s and stealth 6. Ready to get rid of the chrome ones that came on the truck when I bought.

    Ya, it' comes pretty loaded and far better quality than the red basic band-aid ones I've owned. But in no way are they full-blown trauma kits either. I always add a few more things to the pack when I get them.
